Michael C Rubin: ODAPES: A Low-Code Extension for R-Shiny to Democratize Digital Agriculture

About the talk: ODAPES’ Mission is to Democratize Digital Agriculture by giving all farmers, farming service providers and local cooperatives access to a low-cost, cutting-edge, and customized Digital Agriculture App . R-Shiny is the perfect tool for this task. However, despite this great package it is still a challenge to build customized, production-grade R-Shiny App at scale, because the needed R coding skills are not abundant . To address this challenge, we have developed a Low-Code Extension to R-Shiny, specific for ODAPES-Style Digital Agriculture Apps. This allows junior developers to create in a matter of hours production grade Apps with access to different microservices like API’s, GIS algorithms and RMarkdown reports. The system includes two parts: (1) A modular R-Shiny App-Skeleton, which allows to replicate, adapt, and customize a production-grade app. This part makes extensive use of Shiny modules, and Microservices and it includes 8 own R-packages. (2) A second R-Shiny App, called ApplicatoR, from which the Low-Code developer can customize the production App, including the stylesheet. This uses the packages DT, sortable and bs4Dash. The key of the system is a JS-binding for Shiny’s inputIds, which return intelligent information and makes the entire system modular and reproducible. The concept has already been successfully prototyped with clients across Latin America and developers from Venezuela, Brazil, Nigeria, and Chile, creating both affordable technology and local income opportunities. Speaker's bio: If you want to know who I am, here we go: Given the LUCK that I am born in Switzerland and enjoyed one of the world’s best educations at the MIT, what is the challenge of turning this advantageous starting position into a standard career focused profit maximization? At some point I realized that the only reasonable use of my talent, time and resources is to solve a true problem to humanity. As I grew up on a small farm and migrated to Brazil in 2014, this area happens to be CLIMATE CHANGE IN AGRICULTURE IN SOUTH AMERICA. I do this in 2 ways: 1. I am Co-founder of ODAPES, a Impact Venture whose objective it is democratize Digital Agriculture and given access to modern agronomic data science to the world’s 540 Million smallholder farmers. www.odapes.com 2. I am member of the MIT Alumni for Climate Action (MACA), a a non-partisan group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni. I co-founded and lead the MACADAO, which is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization and the Entrepreneurial arm of MACA. As Gandhi said: “be the change you want to see in the world”.
